TheStowaway
My mother was the mayor of our small town, my father was the sheriff. When I was 4, I wandered outside alone, fell down a cliff and broke my ankle. I lived for a month with a pack of wolves until one day I happened upon my house and returned to life with people.
After that I was always under the watchful eye of a nanny or private tutor. I only went outside for walks in the walled garden. I soon forgot about my forest adventures with my wolf family.
One day when I was 16, I stared out the window longingly into the forest. I saw a wolf saunter by and it all came back to me. I packed a bag to run away to the forest and snuck out that night in the rain. Alas, in the dark I slipped on the shore of the river which was raging from the rainfall. I was rushed downstream, clinging to my bag. All night I floated and when the sun rose the next morning, I saw that I was almost to the ocean.
I had never seen the ocean before, except in a book about pirates which a visiting aunt had given to me once. I had hidden the book from my parents because it was much more exciting than the books I was usually allowed. I decided to find some real pirates. After three months of travel I made my way to Bermuda to stow away on a pirate boat and fulfill my destiny: a life of adventure!
Pirate Margarita
I was born here in the Caribbean. My mother was a fisher-woman, so I spent my childhood playing on the beach. My mother married me off at 15 to a pirate. He was a lot older. He drowned in a storm. The captain liked me, so I got to stay on board as long as I worked hard.
But then the captain went overboard. When I reached out to save him, all I could grab was his hook, so he fell in the deep sea and was eaten by a crocodile! Now we have no captain. But I love these singing pirates, and they need me because I'm the best singer of all!
Kate "The Brain" Pirate
Born to a wealthy family, I got bored with the good life and wanted adventure. I went to all the best schools, but didn't fit in. At age 16, I pretended to be a boy to get a job on a merchant ship. My ship was taken over by pirates; I tried my best to fight them off, but I was captured and taken aboard their ship. I proved my worth through hard work and eventually revealed that I was not a boy, but a lady! They were shocked, but let me stay. I've been with the pirates ever since.
Cut Throat Gert
Ahoy Mates! I be called Cut Throat Gert! I was orphaned at the age of 1. Or it may be that my parents deserted me, I don’t remember for sure. Scavenging for food and goods became a successful way of life for me. I grew up on the mean streets of Tortuga and learned how things were in the cold, hard world.
By the time I was old enough to start looking like a girl I had a reputation with weapons and most of the men feared me for it. Going Pirating was the natural next step and I have crewed for many a scurvy Captain and escaped from many a military trap. I plan to be a pirating scalawag for many a year to come and won’t give up on the high seas until Davy Jones comes to drag me down.
Peter the Pirate
I was born to a Mommy and Daddy of normal nice people with three bothers in a small town near the ocean. We were four brothers and I was always the risk taker. Growing up and approaching age 16, I always wanted to be different. I was always an adventure seeker. My Mommy and Daddy did not like this and always tried to keep me on the straight and narrow -- not me! My weakness was singing, drinking and having fun!
One Saturday afternoon, I was watching a Pirate movie at the local movie theater and got excited about the pirates in the movie and their way of life. "Wow!" I thought, "This is an exciting, different way of life with adventures all the time!" I decided at that point to become an adventurous pirate.
I seeked out to meet a motley crew. This was not easy, but one rainy night I got lucky. I met a group of fun and wild pirates at a hidden area near the water. I joined in without asking and begged them to let me join. I must have said and done the right things because now, it's a Pirate's Life for Me !
Penelope Pirate
